I wouldn't call this a bias or anything. I was never a huge fan of Left 4 Dead, but I was a big admirer of its community and all of the memes and content created for it. Darktide has had many ups and downs to reach to where it is today. The game originally released in 2022 and while it was poorly received for a variety of issues and incomplete features the gameplay was and still is one of the strongest selling point for those who stuck around and for those who remember. It's fun and engaging! I couldn't really get into it back in Beta because it didn't really feel like a community and well, I could barely even play it because the game just would not work half of the time. Nor were any of the players talkative or communicative.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re at all a fan of Vampire Survivors and its many clones and imitators. Bio Prototype takes the one-tiny-character-versus-hundreds-of-baddies and adds in a healthy dose of science. You play as a lab experiment gone wrong. Instead of just leveling up and unlocking a growing list of power-ups, you earn both internal and external body parts and must work out a functioning evolutionary path for your creation. This extra layer of depth adds a ton to an already addictive genre of games.

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

You’ll find new card designs, a more streamlined UI, and we’ve added a new caves music track, composed by Henry Taylor, that adds to the atmosphere. For those who are new to the game, Hungry Horrors is a PC roguelite deckbuilder where, instead of fighting monsters, you cook and serve them traditional dishes. Set in a world full of creatures from British and Irish folklore, you’ll prepare meals such as Cranachan and Stargazy Pie to appease characters like the eerie Jenny Greenteeth and the formidable Dullahan. But not all encounters are so grim—helpful folk such as Bluecap and Wulver will assist you on your journey.

SHOULD I PLAY WYTCHWOOD ON MOBILE? Definitely check it out if you haven’t already played it on other platforms. Wytchwood is a cozy crafting game with some seriously spooky vibes. I tested the game on iPhone and Android, and both versions ran perfectly. Moving around and navigating menus is a breeze, and the colorful, creepy visuals look absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect game to play on a dark, stormy night.

One of the most infamous horror 'chaser' character in a game. The mysterious, faceless pyramid head or "red pyramid". I can still remember my first time seeing it in game , kept me up all night.

SHOULD I PLAY MONSTER HUNTER NOW? Skip it unless you’re really itching for a Pokémon Go alternative. Monster Hunter Now is the latest Pokémon Go clone from Niantic, and while it’s entertaining enough, it doesn’t capture the qualities that make Monster Hunter great. There are plenty of familiar monsters to fight, like Pukei-Pukei and Barroth, but the battles aren’t much more than a series of button taps. I love the idea of

Sometimes, the creature with the minimalist design frightens you the most. Meet the corrupted soul from the Cube Escape series.

The Last of Us clickers and bloaters, nothing instills more fear than that horrible clicking sound or bloater yell, along with the spooky ambiance.

Towaga: Among Shadows is a casual but insanely fun action-adventure game with beautiful 2D visuals and smooth animation that explores a world of darkness from the perspective of a light-bringing warrior. After an hour of monster slaying, I’ve come to enjoy Towaga: Among Shadows’s simple shoot ‘em up gameplay and storyline. In Towaga: Among Shadows, I embarked on an adventure to save a stunning Aztec-themed world from evil monsters seeking to ravage everything in its sight. I had to battle against various creatures using abilities and a beam of light that I could redirect willingly with the swoosh and hold of a finger. I’ve found the story mode more enjoyable so far, despite only dabbling in the game’s survival mode, but I’ve yet to play multiplayer.

I'm here again to show you a collection of something drawn straight from Hell. These are fiends from the game Blade of God. MYTH Bear Tyrant The hulking bear raised by the overlord It is said to be rescued by the overlord in a war. Since then, the king has been with the bear for a long time. The bear had been trained to become a skilled warrior, who was invulnerable and accompanied the king everywhere. Can't go back to the forest after the overlord's death.

The best horor character or "monster" is a Alien! What a genius creature with acid instead of blood.

Absolutely Pyramid Head from Slient hill 2 and DBD. Even his fotos gives me teror!

The resident evil series is pretty well known for being growtesk. From when I played Biohazard, they didn’t hold out on me. This was the only resident evil game I played. That didn’t stop me from completing the game. All the monsters looked cool and felt disgusting to look at. Even the endgame boss was innocent at first. Throughout the game, you would see an old woman in a wheelchair. She didn’t seem to have much purpose; seeing her in different places of the house. That is until you get to the end of the game. She turns out to the little girl that caused of what has been going on in the game. She just wanted to have a family. Then, she turns into some kind of black, gooey, and kinda stringy looking face. But that isn’t the only thing you have to face. You had to go against the entire family before get to the end. The strong and ruthless father, the big loving mother, the crazy and sadistic son. Not to mention all the molded creatures all over the house; with only a mouth to attack. There are many games of resident evil like this, but this is the one that I remember.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

The Naked twins from outlast and also the ex security guard just look at them! Naked and scary and the other one will just rip you to shreds

Perhaps not the most horrific... but the Xenomorph from alien isolation is has the most brilliant monster AI in any survival game. It adapts to your every move. It's so incredible, the IGN reviewer gave it a low score saying "the AI is too smart" indirectly saying the monster AI is smarter than him 🤣

Golden Light is my answer which is all about meat. Its pretty small community and it's on multiple platforms (i think lol)but the aesthetic is very good so you dont really need to play multiplayer. The story is about you and you end up in the gut. You go through floors to remember and during that time you learn alot about what's around you but since everything isnt always the same it gets difficult. The monsters themselves range from anything like piles of human body parts to living metallic amalgamations with many different shapes it truly likes this certain idea of horror throughout. I do think there are some visually pleasant places to look at too and overall its a good look at something that isnt just a serial killer type monster but more just a being of its own world. Please check out the game if this sounds slightly interesting at the very least look at a youtube video or two about the game and its made by mr.pink and his team (join the discord) who also have made various other games. I would like to wrap this up by saying some the imagery might be just weird to some people but I think it really adds to the whole vibe of why the game is happening to your character but go find out for yourself. ; )
